Genesis 24:23-33

23He asked, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me whether there is room in your father’s house for us to spend the night.”

24She answered him, “I’m the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah and Nahor.

25We have plenty of straw and feed ⌞for your camels⌟ and room for you to spend the night.”

26The man knelt, bowing to the Lord with his face touching the ground.

27He said, “Praise the Lord, the God of my master Abraham. The Lord hasn’t failed to be kind and faithful to my master. The Lord has led me on this trip to the home of my master’s relatives.”

28The girl ran and told her mother’s household about these things.

29Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban.

30He saw the nose ring and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists and heard her tell what the man had said to her. Immediately, Laban ran out to the man by the spring. He came to the man, who was standing with the camels by the spring.

31He said, “Come in, you whom the Lord has blessed. Why are you standing out here? I have straightened up the house and made a place for the camels.”

32So the man went into the house. The camels were unloaded and given straw and feed. Then water was brought for him and his men to wash their feet.

33When the food was put in front of him, he said, “I won’t eat until I’ve said what I have to say.” “Speak up,” Laban said.
